Didn’t set our alarms early enough and didn’t make it out on the water till around 7am.. set up in 90 FOW and went SE over the sliders down past saugy ended up with 2 fish pretty quick. Around 10am after not getting a bite we went W out to 160 where we got one more. Seems like shallow is good early or late in the day otherwise head out 180+. No hits on flashers or meat. Very few marks. 90 fow - rigger down 55 Shelly Shack RV Mag 95 fow - 225 cu mag DW A bomb 160 fow - rigger down 55 Shelly snack RV Mag Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

Splice Wire Diver Line?
Copilottruman replied to dan agnello's topic in Michigan Waters Fishing Reports - Salmon and Trout
My wire divers have about 10’ of braid on the end so I can break the rods down. I used the double Uni knot with no problem. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman -
Beautiful night on the water. Only fished for 3 hours. Ran northwest out to 130. Went on a NW & NE troll and ended up with 5 hits and 3 fish on board. Once we turned on a SW & SE troll all the hits stopped. Seemed like a theme. Everyone on the radio agreed north was a better troll. People seemed to be doing better 130-150. We trolled into 80 fow on our way in. Lots of marks and bait. 3 hits on A bomb spoon, 1 on yellow goby, 1 on meat. 300 cu, 8 color, 60 downrigger, 130 3 setting dipsy.

Holland 1-6-24

Started around 9am. Unfortunately it was 2-4’ waves so we just trolled around with one line till about 11am when it calmed down and we were able to fish all 6. In about 2 hours we went 2/2 on browns. No real marks near the piers but between 30-40 fow within half mile north and south of the piers there were tons of marks. Both came on UV DW SS spoons 5 colors. Used my new ninja boards which pull great but couldn’t really tell when a fish was on. All my short colors are Penn 320’s and I love them but they’re old and need servicing, does anyone know of a good place to send them? Trophy 1802 out of Holland

Thanks for the update! Hopefully someone has a report from somewhere closer to south Haven but that will be a good start. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman -
